PRODUCT FEATURES
These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your
vented decorative fireplace:
• The BCT2536TEN and BCT2536TEP series of vented decorative
fireplaces may be recessed into an exterior chase, an interior
flush wall enclosure or a framed-in corner installation.
• Models BCT2536TMN and BCT2536TMP are equipped with a
millivolt gas control system that does not require electricity to
operate. A piezo ignitor is provided to light the pilot without using
matches or lighters.
• Models BCT2536TEN and BCT2536TEP are equipped with an elec
-
tronic ignition system that requires 120 VAC to operate. An electrode
ignitor automatically lights the pilot flame when the fireplace is turned
on.
• These fireplaces can accept any approved 4" B-Type venting system
and must be terminated vertically through the roof using a listed
type vent cap only. See venting instructions starting on page 8 for
proper venting requirements.
• These vented fireplaces require indoor air for combustion and must
be installed in a room of sufficient size to provide adequate fresh
air for safe and proper operation. The room intended for instal-
lation must be of sufficient size to meet the requirements for an
unconfined space as defined in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54. Air for Combustion and Ventilation. If sufficient
air for combustion is not available a makeup air kit model AK4 may
be required to provide outside air to this appliance. Check your
local codes as to specific requirements for make up air.
• This fireplace may be installed in any room of the house provided
all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.
